✅ Remediation
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. Workaround: See the security bulletin for a detailed mitigation procedure. Workaround: Mitigation for this issue is to skip loading the affected module `ip6_tunnel` onto the system till we have a fix available, this can be done by a blacklist mechanism, this will ensure the driver is not loaded at the boot time. ~~~ How do I blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically? https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 ~~~ We may also want to detection and monitoring an affected system as below: ~~~ Monitor for exploitation attempts: # Enable kernel audit for IPv6 tunnel operations auditctl -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S socket -F a0=10 -F a1=3 -k ipv6_tunnel # Monitor system logs for kernel panics/crashes journalctl -k -p err -f | grep -i "ip6_tunnel\|icmp\|stack" ~~~
